Connecting the Elderly with the Internet – E-sports

This is a Service-learning course.

 

E-sports are often associated with youth, this course aims to break down barriers and promote engagement among young old (elderlies age >75). As many elderlies experience loneliness after leaving the workforce, E-sports offer a fun, interactive way to keep their minds sharp and reestablish social connections.

 

Students will leverage their knowledge, skills and passion for gaming to introduce seniors to E-sports, fostering communication and camaraderie across generations. This service-learning course not only enhances the quality of life for the elderlies but also helps students develop valuable interpersonal skills.

 

To celebrate the elderly's journey in learning new knowledge and skills, students will co-organize an E-sports tournament, showcasing their achievements and fostering team spirit. Redefine E-sports, elderlies, and team spirit! Let e-Sports be the bridge to a more connected, healthier lifestyle for everyone involved!
